Campbell endures devastating hardship and torture, but he finally succumbs to Arnold's will. He leads Arnold's army in a climactic battle on Earth, but then becomes lost in an apocalyptic surprise no one foresaw. With death surrounding him, Campbell struggles to find and save his true love, Penelope.
